Lay out the smoked salmon slices on a clean flat surface or a cutting board, ensuring the slices are flat and intact.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, chopped dill, chopped chives, lemon zest, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each smoked salmon slice, being careful not to overfill.
Place a baby spinach leaf at one end of each salmon slice. If using capers, place 1-2 capers on top of the spinach.
Carefully roll the salmon slices from the end with the spinach, creating a tight spiral. Repeat for all slices.
Place the smoked salmon rolls seam-side down on a serving platter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up before serving.
Serve chilled as an elegant appetizer. Optionally, garnish the platter with extra dill and lemon wedges.
